PUBLICATION

The world today needs engineers with a vision to face the challenges not only of today but of tomorrow. I say this because currently we are facing challenges never seen before in the past. And building knowledge based off the past will not necessary be the solution for the tasks ahead. Innovation and inspiring excellence from solving today’s challenges secures a brighter future for those that come after. In the years gone by society has faced great challenges. These hard times need visionary individuals, those brave enough to make change happen.

Civil engineers like Telford, Brunel and Renée paved the way with their vision and courage and their belief that they could make people’s lives better. That they could build a better future. Now more than ever before we need those individuals with a vision and courage to bring about change but not just for the challenges of today but also for the challenges of tomorrow. We need the few to once again inspire the many.

The say about the year 2050 the population would have more than nine billion people will live on the planet! The more I think about that the more I think about the problems this will bring and I


Ask myself what the future will hold for future generations. The world faces challenges such as in fracture, sustainability and climate change; poverty and a dwindling energy supply everything that is vital in supporting the world’s growing population. What does this mean for future generations!? I often wonder what I can do to ensure the quality of the lives for my children and their children!?

Civil engineers have one of the world’s most important Jobs; they help build our quality of life. With their creativity and technical skills. Civil engineers plan and construct essentials to modern life from the delivery of the water that we drink to the schools we learn in and the roads we travel on; to the canals and ports that allow global trade and airports that allow global travel.

I am a problem solver ready to meet the challenges of a growing population in fracture, sustainability, pollution, urbanisation and our increasing energy demands. Civil engineers have been at the heart of global progression on innovative thinking today more than ever before they are needed to build on the wondrous achievements of the past and help solve the challenges of the future. What will my legacy be that will help improve the quality of lives for the many that precede me!? What will I be remembered for!? These two questions are the fuel that drives my career path forwards and gives me a reason to wake up every day. Pericles once said that what you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.

ABOUT ME

As a graduate from the University of Bradford studying BEng Civil & Structural Engineering, I have a particular interest in applying for a graduate or trainee scheme advertised on your website. The skills and abilities, job knowledge, language proficiency, work experience and education matches the job pre-requisites in different sectors. I am an individual that is unmatched with hands on experience; this is evident in my work experience attained abroad in Kenya’s most prestigious engineering and construction company Transfleet LTD. This experience will be invaluable as a young engineer; it will allow me to approach problems in unique ways and show that I can handle myself in important roles. For the past couple of years I have worked at the concrete batching plant and joinery workshop here I was able to get a hands on approach towards engineering principles and basic fundamentals for any starting projects in construction. Lately I have been producing precast concrete blocks, operating the CNC angle line hole punch for varying steel grade, Tackling Drainage and sewage in Kenya's Embakasi area, uncoiling flattening and rolling slitting lines. Currently I'm working as a Designer of the Bystronic Bystar L 4025-125 Laser cutting machine of Transfleet Limited Kenya. Here I'm broadening my scope to better market myself. This experience has granted me numerous skills including communication and teamwork skills. If given the opportunity to work at your company, I can adapt these skills into being an efficient and reliable worker.


I feel that this company is the type of organisation I can excel in and it would be a stepping stone from being an enthusiastic student to a professional engineer. I have also attached my detailed CV for your reference and I hope you will find my details of interest to you. If you have any question please do not hesitate to contact me.

CEMENTITIOUS

MATERIALS

Technological advances in the production of cement, such as admixtures, plant control system sand alternative fuels, have given the cement producer the flexibility to use a wider range of mineral components, such as GGBS, fly ash and limestone, and produce cement with better technically acceptable properties. However a specification was needed to standardise the performance of cement allowing for these innovations and technological advances.

The national cement specification is a performance-based specification where the early and 28-day strength of the cement are defined. This has resulted in a significantly more consistent product than previous specifications enforced.

COMPOSITION

The range of proportions of each constituent material is specified for each cement type e.g.

CEM II A-M (S) consists of clinker with 6 to 20%ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). Included in the range of permitted mineral components may be additional constituents of up to 5%. Figure 1 shows percentages of different mineral components permitted in each cement type.

CONCRETE

The quality of ready mix concrete is controlled by compliance with Eurocodes and British standards.

BATCHING TOLERANCE • Cementitious materials are

batched cumulatively by mass to within 2%

• Aggregate is batched to within 3% • Admixtures are batched to within

2% or 50 ml • Water is batched to within 2%

Water is tested if the quality is in doubt. Where wash-out water is used in concrete to minimise disposal problems and thus reduce impact on the environment, density is closely monitored to re-strict solids content.

PRODUCTION AND DELIVERY

• Solid materials are batched by mass, liquids by mass or volume

• Appropriate adjustments are made for moisture in aggregate

• Control of water is done by measurement and maintenance of slump within specified tolerances

• Concrete is delivered with sufficient workability for placement and compaction.


WORK EXPERIENCE GALLERY


THE ADVANTAGES OF OUR READY-MIX CONCRETE:

• The Ready-mix Concrete supplier has the resources and technical expertise to provide a wide range of concrete mixes.

• The Ready-mix Concrete supplier is able to meet changes to the construction programmes.

• Space is made available on site. • Ready-mix Concrete can be

supplied to several positions on the concrete site at the same time.

• High rate of delivery is possible. • The Ready-mix producer takes

responsibility for quality control of concrete production.

• A wider range and combination of binders, aggregates and admixtures.

• Varying mix requirements in the fresh and hardened states.

• Wide variety of specifications • Environmental restraints.

CHRYSO offers a wide range of admixtures for We offers a wide range of admixtures for ready-mix concrete producers depending on the plastic or hardened properties of the desired concrete. Admixtures typically range from plasticisers, super-plasticisers, accelerators and retarders. These admixtures are supplied in bulk tankers or flow bins to the ready mix producers and dispensed through dispensers supplied and maintained by MUGOYA. In line with good concrete practices, MUGOYA also offers de-moulding oils and curing compounds in order to produce the desired finish on the ready mix concrete required.

SITE BATCHED CONCRETE MARKET

SEGMENT

Site Batched concrete involves receiving and storing materials, batching and mixing. Although site batching is frequently seen as a cheaper option than ordering ready mix concrete, the following factors should be costed into site batch:

• Wastage and theft of materials • Handling and storage of materials • Plant hire/depreciation • Plant establishment and removal • Plant operation • Labour • Supervision • Technical Requirements • Site transport equipment available

to other trades at all times rather than tied transporting concrete on site.

THE ADVANTAGES OF SITE BATCHING

CONCRETE:

• A high degree of flexibility in site management is possible.

• Small quantities can be made at a short notice.


BYSTRONIC BYSTAR 4025 120 L LASER CUTTING

TECHNOLOGY


PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH MACHINE My personal experience using the Bystronic Bystar laser cutting technology as added a skill set to employment experience that puts me above most graduates of my time. Familiarization with the laser cutting machine and the various components such as the CNC controller, Handling system and laser controller has been an added value to my operational skills both with the Bysoft 7 Software and the Byview Operator hand handle device. TRAINING AND INITIATING OPERATIONS The acquisition of the necessary specialist technical knowledge of the machine with the options available (rotational axis, Bypos, tactile sensing etc.), as well as special process modes such as pulsed operation and engraving, etc. The machine operator learns how to perform the tasks which arise during production. CNC CONTROLLER AND CABINET

The air-conditioned CNC cabinet contains: - Bystronic CNC controller ByVision - Drive modules for the main axes - UPS (uninterruptible power supply) for the operating terminal - Pressure regulation for both cutting gases [N₂ and O₂] All-round sheet-steel enclosures and a main filter ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The Bystronic CNC controller is a path controller designed in-house specifically for our machines and is based on the very latest technology.

Network capability of the CNC controller The CNC-controlled machine can be connected to the company's intranet by means of a Netbox (router/switch, provided by Bystronic). Cabling is 100 base-T, twisted pair, category 5 with RJ45 connector components. Network transmission rate: 100 Mbit/s LASER - Up to 6 kW laser power (depending on the laser module selected) - Optimum efficiency and start-of-the-art technologies means very low power consumption - Precise, high-speed control of the optical power means that extremely short piercing times can be delivered with maximum reliability and using ultra-efficient cutting technologies - The OCS unit (ByLaser 4400 / ByLaser 6000) monitors the output coupler, while the EMS unit (ByLaser 6000) monitors the end mirror; both reduce potential burn-through of the optical elements - High power efficiency - Flexible layout design, as individual machine parts can be installed separately - Low laser-gas consumption thanks to Premix.


QUARRY STONE MOBILE PRIMARY JAW CRUSHER

5566 PLANT


PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AT QUARRY Working at the Quarry has been both interesting and a learning curve at the same time. Here I prepare the area for blasting by drilling holes to varying depths from 3 to 10 metres with a diameter of 400mm. clearing the site for blasting is key as the debris is unpredictable during blasting. Health and safety is vital as flying rocks can kill or leave huge bruises that will need medical attention. Once the blasting zone is safe to proceed arranging Dumper truck 770 and 773 CAT is always a joy to witness as the move over 600Tons of rock in one trip! The Rocks are taken to the primary jaw crusher 5566 plant that crushes the rocks to a useable size before it passes to the secondary crusher where they are fine tuned to the aggregate sizes used in construction. A seize test is done to assure that the shapes of the aggregates are not flaky and will produce a decent concrete strength for structural elements. We then use the aggregate on our onsite batching plant to then deliver to our customers.
